Turn your BBQ into a surprising meal: BBQ ideas and veggies recipes

Since I was a kid, I always love barbecues. It was a real feast. My dad´s bbq was merguez and chipolatas as starters and then some nice pork chops grillade. In special occasions, we had côte de boeuf!

Later, my brother, the cheese fanatic of the family, introduced the grilled camembert which is now a tradition as well! It is really easy to make and you get a small camembert fondue in 15 minutes!

BBQ is a must for most of us in summer. It is a great way to celebrate the good weather and get together with friends and family around a simple and kind of root cuisine.

Alessandro´s inspired burgers: my friend and earlier flatmate Alessandro is one of the person I feel blessed to met in Haarlem. He is Sicilian and transmitted me the love and respect for the Italian cuisine . Besides the fact that Alessandro is a talented lighting artist, he is also a great cook! His delicious polpettone (meatballs) inspired me to create a Sicilian taste burger; quite amazing!

1/ Peel the lemon, slice in thin dices the onion and crush the garlic clove.

2/ Mix together these ingredients with the meat and eggs, add the capers, oil, salt and pepper and the roughly sliced oregano.

3/ Make 4 patties, brush with some olive oil and grill. Cook as your taste and enjoy straight away! You can make a nice Italian burger with it choosing ciabatta bread, olive oil, tomatoes, rucola and a slice of mozzarella on top.
